I notice something that he does which I don't see in a lot of our propaganda. He doesn't constantly focus on how they're "Winning" but rather on what has to be done to keep the situation from deteriorating.

He comes across as the adult in the room, honestly. Especially when all the US can do is constantly beat war drums and try to claim he's a monster, with manufactured atrocities.

Of course, listening and talking to your enemies is the only way you can really end a war. And the US doesn't want this to end, so therefore even listening is verboten.
